Small Group Questions

1. Richard Wurmbrand stood boldly for Christ even when it meant imprisonment and torture. What challenges or fears hold you back from speaking up about your faith, and how might the Spirit help you overcome them?

2. Jesus’ Great Commission centers on one main command: make disciples. The verbs “go,” “baptize,” and “teach” describe how. How does this perspective reshape the way you think about your role in disciple-making?

3. Acts 1:8 says, “You will be my witnesses.” Why do you think Jesus chose the word witness rather than something else (like singer, teacher, or worshiper)? What does being a witness look like in your everyday life?

4. The sermon highlighted that disciple-making doesn’t require adding more to your calendar, but reframing what you already do with gospel intentionality. Where in your current rhythms (work, family, hobbies, errands) might God be calling you to be more intentional?

5. John 15:8 reminds us that true disciples bear fruit. What kind of fruit—spiritual growth, influence, relationships, service—do you see in your life right now? Where do you feel called to grow?

6. Biblical hospitality (philoxenia) is the love of the stranger. How is that different from how we usually think about hospitality? What are some practical, even simple, ways you could practice this in your own home or life?

7. The sermon ended with a challenge: pray for and invite one person to Alpha. Who comes to your mind right now? How can your group encourage each other to take that step of invitation in the coming weeks?
